Group Shipping Policies

BP (Group) Shipping Audit Policy

BP (Group) Shipping Vetting Policy

BP (Group) Time Charter Policy

It is the responsibility of each BP Business and Associate to comply with the BP Group Shipping Policies in order to maintain the integrity of our business and to protect people, property, the environment and the BP Group from risks which may result from shipping activities

Common Audit Findings

Ship Shore Safety Check List (SSSCL)

Not complying with ISGOTT recommended format

Unfamiliarity with questions / contents -

(training)

No repeat checks

Lack of awareness of Inert Gas

Completed by terminal before ship has berthed

No physical checks

Common Observations:

Used as a tick

Training for Ship / Shore Interface

1 expert

used to train everybody else

No formal training

Training carried out on an ad-hoc basis

Vessel Access (including Barges)

Aghhh!

Berth Structure

Berth Criteria (or lack of)

Displacement with LOA and Beam & Draft to combat the implications of re-measurement

Max/Min Deadweight and Draft for each Berth

We are actively encouraging the change to:-

We find Terminals who are unaware of:-

And frequently terminals are unaware of BPs Under Keel Clearance (UKC) Policy

Under Keel Clearance RequirementsBP Shipping Policy requires the following Under KeelClearance

In Approaches:-

A minimum of 10% of draft regardless of the size of vessel

When Alongside:-

Vessels with a beam of up to 20 mtrs

require a minimum of 0.30 metres UKC

Vessels with beam in excess of 20 mtrs

requires a minimum of 1.5% of

beam UKC.

Example Jetty Acceptance Criteria

Acceptance criteria for a vessel at jetty four

LOA less than 355m

yes

/

no

Displacement less than 190,000 tonnes

yes

/

no

Center of manifold above water line less than 22.4m

yes

/

no

Freeboard at breast lines less than 24m

yes

/

no

Bow to center of manifold less than 190m yes

/

no

Ballast Parallel body length greater than 110 yes

/

no

Negative answer to any of the above and

the vessel is not acceptable

Parallel mid body length

Point Loading

Moorings

Condition of Fenders

If any!

Jetty Bunding (or lack of)

-

and the other extreme!

Loss of Containment

Manifold / Pipeline blanks

Sources of IgnitionMobile Phones used by :-

Agents

Pilots

Chandlers

Surveyors

Port Officials

Ships CrewTerminal Staff

and even!:-

Mobile Phones

Battery

Stray Currents

Often staff are unclear where their insulating flanges are located, or even in some cases whether they even have them. This is particularly noticeable where hard arms

are used.

Recording of test results is often sparse, and sometimes, no tests are performed.

Insulating Flanges

ISGOTT preferred method.

Insulating flanges in hose strings are often in poor condition.

Bonding Wires (If used)

ISGOTT states that if they are used, it must be in conjunction with an intrinsically safe switch.

Where there is a switch, the procedure is often not clearly posted or followed.

We find terminals where bonding wires (with and without switches) are used in addition to insulating flanges. (In the false belief that it gives them added protection)

Electrical Fittings / Zone Classification

Emergency Preparedness

No provision for incident on vessel at jetty

Poor management of contact lists details

No Emergency / Oil Spill Pollution Plan

Inadequate equipment to cope with emergency situation

Little or no drill scenarios

Flexible Hoses

Poor condition (age)

Inadequate rigging, slings and strops

Physical damage

Lifting Equipment

Life Saving & Fire Fighting Appliances

No policy for the wearing of lifejackets

Inadequate provision of lifebuoys

Lack off or poor condition of fire hoses

Maintenance of LSA & FFE

Defective foam installations

Bunding

of fuel tank for diesel fire pumps

Housekeeping
